MPs were considering the Finance Bill[2].
The amendment rejected in this vote was:
- amendment 2, page 3, line 39, at end insert
- “(3) The Chancellor of the Exchequer shall undertake a review, within six months of the passing of this Act, of the impact of a cut of one per cent to the main rate of Corporation Tax for financial year 2016, with particular reference to—
- (a) the impact on businesses with fewer than 50 employees;
- (b) the impact on investment by businesses with fewer than 50 employees; and
- (c) alternative tax measures, including non-domestic rates, which would have a greater benefit for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
- (4) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must publish the report of the review and lay the report before the House.”.
